I could see how the preset nice and calm scenes become even more dull than the gray sky.

At least here there is real weather, kids annoyingly playing the flute, dogs barking or doves procreating. That’s gotta be more exciting than seeing the same Moon rocks and Northern lights.

You’re focusing too much on the defaults. There’s nothing stopping a third party from capturing or building a bunch more scenes and selling them as an app. Probably as a subscription. I’d be surprised if there’s not someone right now trying to make or repurpose a procedurally generated forest.

And in principle, it would be possible to have a weather and environment broadcasted through cameras in any place in the world. And there are already VR games that get it quite right.
